I upgraded to Sierra as soon as was released, expecting something or other
to go wrong with ImageJ because of it. I was pleasantly surprised that it
all seems fine.
Actually, I think Apple fixed at least one memory leak:
http://forum.imagej.net/t/memory-not-clearing-over-time/2137/15?u=ctruedenHowever, it does not fix everything -- the horrible Mac speed issues are
not resolved:
http://forum.imagej.net/t/mac-java-speed-issues/304Fortunately, Wayne's workaround of not setting the menu bar on new windows
avoids the worst of it, for the time being.

That is certainly safe and reasonable. It is not supposed to be necessary
-- the ImageJ Updater is supposed to update the launcher in the Contents
folder -- but perhaps it did not for some reason. See also

Have you tried Homebrew (
http://brew.sh/)? I like it better than MacPorts
and all seems to be working for me on Sierra so far.
